"What's the New Mary Jane" is a song written by John Lennon (but credited to Lennon–McCartney) and performed by the Beatles. It was recorded in 1968 for the album ''The Beatles'' ("The White Album"), but was not used. ==Recording== An early acoustic demo of "What's the New Mary Jane" was recorded in late May 1968, at George Harrison's Esher home. It featured Lennon singing an octave higher than the final cut, placing the chorus at the very beginning as well as throughout, and switching the words "cooking" and "groovy" in the second verse: :''She liked to be married to yeti, he cooking such groovy spaghetti.'' As opposed to: :''She liked to be married with yeti, he grooving such kooky spaghetti.'' Another member of the Beatles can also be heard shouting "What's the new Mary Jane? Oh, my goodness!" near the end of the demo. This variation is notably shorter than the released version, clocking in at around 2:40. The final version of this song was recorded on 14 August 1968 during the recording sessions for the Beatles tenth album ''The Beatles'' (aka "The White Album"), with Lennon and Harrison being the only band members playing on the track. Four takes were recorded with the final being marked as the best.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Beatles Bible )〕 It was later mixed in mono on 26 September with "Glass Onion", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun", and "I Will" and in stereo on 14 October before being added to the shortlist for the new album. However, during the album's final mixing stage, it was dropped due to time constraints, bringing the album down to 30 songs. During an interview, Lennon commented on "What's the New Mary Jane", saying, "That was me, Yoko, and George sitting on the floor at EMI fooling around. Pretty good, huh?" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「What's the New Mary Jane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
